Python with Vim

Question

I'm trying to use python with Vim. When I create a .py file and try to execute it using the .<FileName>, I get the following error:

 line 2  ~  
 |SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\xe1' in file C:\Users\Nilton Schum~ 
 |acher F\Desktop\Udemy Python\recebendo_dados_usuario.py on line 3, but no enco~  
 |ding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details  

This is how my test.py file looks:

"""
This are notes
"""
print("Whats your name?")

Just wondering whether you've set the encoding in your vimrc to utf-8, if not try adding a line to ~/.vimrc of set encoding=utf-8. This is solely based on the error message, if the error changes, comment below!

EDIT: Actually it seems you're on Windows, I have no clue where the vimrc would be here, but I'm sure this is easy enough to find!
